Opening the Gates

It is the moment I shut my eyes 

And let the darkness fully envelop me

Along with glistening stars surging through my distorted vision 

And leaping off 

To see the sun hugging me on the horizon 

A sense of comfort I will always return to 

...

To think that I would never share this world with anyone

It's my serenity 

My utopia

Home away from home

Where no one could possibly find me

It's where I bathe in the spotless lakes 

Roll in the grass fields 

Hike to the highest points

Lay beneath a tree as I listened to the wind sing me a lullaby 

But then when you appeared

I wanted to show you this world of mine

...

This world was always mine and mine alone

I lived in it alone

And showered myself in the solitude because it was pure bliss

But the thought of sharing this perfect world of mine to you

Didn't seem like a bad idea after all

Besides

You loved me to the moon and back

I might as well show you

The wonders of my happiness

...

Maybe my home is wherever you are
